Further thoughts on Street Angel
 

I've been listening to this album a lot lately, and I really like a lot of the songs on it, but as a whole, it leaves something to be desired. So, I was thinking...you know, this would be a kickass little album if about four of these songs weren't on here, and she'd stuck Thousand Days on there instead.

So, I came up with an alternate tracklist:

1. Blue Denim
2. Greta
3. Street Angel
4. Thousand Days
5. Listen to the Rain
6. Destiny
7. Love Is Like a River
8. Rose Garden
9. Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind
10. Just Like a Woman

The only song I really hate...and I mean, it absolutely disgusts me...is Unconditional Love. Docklands just doesn't sound like Stevie. And Kick It & Jane have potential, but as they are, neither one does anything for me. :shrug:

That's why I really love 'Docklands.' It's a nice surprise and it doesn't fit her mold...no darkness, no mysticism. It's very fresh.

I like your tracklist. You got rid of the clunkers.

"Kick It" is one of my favorites on the album!
I've always loved this verse:

"It's a strange kind of love affair
A symphony of sorts
Strange kind of love affair
A declaration of war
No I won't be here tomorrow night
You won't see me smiling
Tomorrow when it's very dark, no crying..."

It should have been an EP.

1. Street Angel
2. Blue Denim
3. Just Like A Woman
4. Greta (original master reel mix, not the bad ersatz new wave on the album)

The rest can go rot.

That is a great verse. I think the song has potential, but as it is, it just doesn't grab be for some reason.

Having a Street Angel without Kick It is like having a Diss without a loathing of Street Angel - it's just not right, it's just not natural. Kick It is great, Thousand Days sucks.

Ohhh, noooo...I lurves me some Thousand Days.

well, then now you know how I feel about Kick It. To be fair, I concur about Unconditional Love WCYM.

:laugh: :xoxo:

Quiet now, songbird, just for one night
Well, I know that you love to sing
And, oh baby, well, I know that you love to write
You live by the light of the moon
and I live by light of desire
Ooh, such words to her over the phone
"Just how many people are there with you now"

Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke.

I didn't know that many people liked Kick It. I don't hate it...it just doesn't grab me like some of the others. She should've done something to it, although I don't know what, exactly. :shrug:

Wooow. I didn't even know the words and I didn't like it. This just makes it worse. :distress:

Unconditional Love has to be the worst song she's ever recorded. Those lyrics! Arrrgh!!

"The one condition of love...is there are none at all." Good lord, where do I start in picking apart that philosophy?? :distress:

It's definitely one of the most "rocking" songs on there. It's practically the only one.
That's the first song I liked. None of the others grabbed me except that one at first. Followed closely by JLAW, because I knew it already and liked the old version. :shrug: All the rest had to grow on my like a fungus. The kind that rots the wood off of your fence where it is growing.
Which song grabbed you first?

That's actually my favorite verse. :nod: :lol:

:laugh:

The first time I heard it, I was instantly struck by her terrible vocal. Then I focused on the horrid production. Then the lyrics. By the time I got around to actually listening to the lyrics, the song was having the same effect on me as ipecac syrup would.
